Law Firm of Gary M. Singer, P.A., and Gary M. Singer (Fort Lauderdale), for appellee.

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and LOGUE and BOKOR, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See McCormack v. Flens, 27 So. 3d 179, 181 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010) (affirming jury verdict and finding that defendant’s refusal to return funds after acknowledging that they belonged to plaintiff satisfied the felonious intent requirement); see also Masvidal v. Ochoa, 505 So. 2d 555, 556 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987) (holding that that the defendant committed embezzlement, conversion, and civil theft where “the defendant lawfully obtained possession of the plaintiff’s funds to set up the escrow fund and thereafter converted the funds for his own use”).
